grasshop

A grasshopper.

But by the scorched bank-sides i' thy footsteps still I go plodding: Hedge-rows hot do resound with grasshops mournfully squeaking.

I don't want grasshops tew giv [sic] entirely out, not if they are a blessing, but i hav thought (to myself) if they would let the grass and cornstalks be, and pitch onto the burdoks and Canada thissells, i would bet a few dollars on the thissells, jist tew encourage the fight, and wouldn't care a cuss if they both got finally licked.

To move erratically here and there, like a grasshopper.

It grasshops over the grass and bounds skyward. A matron crams a fresh stick of gum into her mouth and chews her words up with it.

He had to grasshop her, using long poles cabled to a donkey-engine capstan. Slowly, laboriously the ship inched backward, her fireboxes glowing orange-red, the crack of blocks and the booming slam of her engines shattering the night.
